COMMUNITY ROOM DEDICATION

Anthony L. Johnson, CEO and executive director of Greenwich Communities announced

 that a ceremony dedicating the new community room at Armstrong Court to the late Winston A. Robinson, a former resident and civil rights, community, church leader, and an outstanding human being will be held Saturday, Sept. 9, at 10 a.m.

The Community Room will be dedicated to the “Memory of Winston A. Robinson,” who passed away on Jan. 26. “We want to recognize Winston A. Robinson and his 35-year commitment to helping this community and the town of Greenwich, which he loved dearly,” said Johnson. “Winston’s service and commitment to the town of Greenwich, town of Greenwich Boards, civic organizations and his church are qualities that we all should strive to emulate,” said Johnson.

 Robinson was a housing manager at the Greenwich Housing Authority, now known as Greenwich Communities. In addition, he served as a member of the Greenwich Department of Human Services, where he chaired the Achievement Gap Task Force. This task force seeks to support children from low-income families in their first three years of life to help them avoid future academic struggles, which Robinson believed in very strongly. After Robinson’s passing, town of Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo posted his thoughts on social media, “One of the nicest men ever. A true gentleman, Winston will be remembered for his love of others, his hometown of Greenwich and his life.”

 The public is invited to attend this dedication. Caffè Bon will be providing light refreshments. For questions, contact Maria Morris at mmorris@greenwichcommunity.org or call 203-869-1138, ext. 101.
